My periods are delayed by five days. I have not had unprotected penetrative sex. I took a urine pregnancy test, as advised by a doctor online, and it was negative. What should be the next step?

A 5 day delay in your period with a negative urine pregnancy test and no unprotected penetrative sex is reassuring. Stress, travel, illness, or hormonal fluctuations can cause minor delays in your cycle. It is best to wait for another week, and if your period does not start, repeat a urine pregnancy test for reassurance. If your cycles continue to be irregular, consult your doctor for further evaluation to check thyroid or hormonal levels if needed.

Take a UPT Test (Urine Pregnancy) Test or Take a Beta HCG Test Test

View allI have used Sevista 60 mg from 26th June till 11th August. I am not having periods though my pregnancy test report is negative. How long should I wait for my periods to come? If I want to have sex, will I start Overal L again in this situation? Will Overal L give me protection against pregnancy? Will it take months or days for my periods to normalize since I stopped Sevista on 11th August? In the absence of periods, if I start Ovral L, will it prevent pregnancy?

I have been taking Azitheal, Fenza, and AF 150 for a vaginal infection for the past two days due to mild odor. I am trying to conceive and usually have a 24 day menstrual cycle. My last period started on 16th July, and today is the 24th day, but my period has not started yet. Could these medications delay my period, or should I wait for a week before taking a pregnancy test?

Hi Doctor, I have irregular periods, so it is difficult to calculate my menstrual dates. I had intercourse on 21st, and my last menstrual period was on 19th. When should I take a pregnancy urine test to get an accurate result?
